Paul Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 I made a New Years Resolution in millennium year. I am pleased to be able to say 18 years later that I have kept rigidly to it. It was never to make any more New Years resolutions. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think I have ever made any in my life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwanR Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 I would be here forever making reply to so many of the posts above. Let's just say that chocolate and eating too many sweet things is something that I am always struggling with ... the subsidised vending machine in the staff room at work doesn't help. I have to walk past it to get to the coffee!! I gave up the gym a couple of years ago after having been regularly for about 15 years so perhaps it's time I went back ... except that after a long day at work I really don't have the energy or inclination. I thought that maybe I would substitute proper walking instead ... but it didn't really happen last year. The problem is that unless one is going to walk the streets (!!) you have to drive somewhere first and then walk in a circle back to the car! Maybe I should just resolve to buy more shoes and handbags ... I think Grace would approve of that one. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bound2Please Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 The only new years resolution I have ever made was in 1997, and on st Patrick's day in 1997, made that happen, and here I am in 2018 still keeping to it.......................... and I have every intention to for a long while yet.

Gracie Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 I'm hitting the sales this weekend, have seen a gorgeous pair of shoes for half price in Next, im indoors thinks it great that I'll be saving money, what he doesn't know is that I'm buying two pairs in different colours, well they are half price I go to an all female Gym regularly, this is a true event, I kid you not...............My friend and me were working out with an Instructor and another rather large lady, when we finished, she went over to her bag and pulled out one of those huge Galaxy bar of chocolate, unwrapped and started eating. She must have seen us gawping and said "If you can't have the odd treat after working out when can you?" Our Instructor walked away in disbelief, head in hands Lol Sorry Neil for going slightly off topic Grace 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However I have had the same type of shoes for years (not I said type not the same pair) and here is the latest update I am setting up a fund raising site shortly and seeing as you love buying shoes if you would like to contribute I would appreciate it, but I will also post the link incase you fancy buying them for me.

The colour wasn't intentional for work colours more as a way to draw attention away from the face, as in "ooh look at those red shoes" rather than "ooh look at his screwed up illuminous beetroot face" It's not very often i come across someone with larger feet than mine although I am actually only a size 12, just running I need a 13. Did I mention my fundraising page???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grendel Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 my nephew wears size 16 they had a great deal of trouble getting him boots when he was in the army, so much so he had special dispensation to wear trainers on parade until the boots were made.
